On mound, 10 throws looked close to full velocity (coach stood next to plate simulating a batter on about 5 of these)

That was the work-out, with breaks to talk about delivery, motion etc. with coaches.He seemed in good spirits, although he appeared irritated with the location of a few throws.

Well I am off to Chicago tomorrow morning, very excited, even though the weather looks a little iffy.We have tickets for Saturday's game but not tomorrow's home opener. This is quick work/pleasure trip and I will be back in Az on Monday night.With my laptop currently on the fritz, I'll have to wait till Tuesday to let you know how the trip went.
